We were really hoping we could start this review with the following sentence: "If you're looking for a mediocre Super Smash Bros. clone with your favorite Cartoon Network characters, look no further than Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL!" but, after playing Crave Entertainment's cartoony brawler, we can't bring ourselves to give it even that amount of acclaim.
XL is an upgraded version of the 3DS Punch Time Explosion from a few months back, and bumps the roster from 18 to 26. For many, the roster is going to be the biggest selling point, as it typically is in games that look to mash franchises together, and to that point it basically does its job. Characters like Johnny Bravo, Samurai Jack, and Captain Planet will be great for fans of '80s and '90s cartoons, while Mac and Bloo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and a number of characters from Ben 10 will give younger gamers some faces they recognize. But while it covers a wide variety of series, it certainly feels like it should cover even more – especially considering how much double dipping takes place. Sure, the Power Puff Girls could all have their own move sets, but making them pallet-swaps in favor of adding two more varied characters would have definitely upped the value.
XL also cleans up the 3DS version's story mode a bit and adds new enemies and bosses to the campaign, which models itself closely after Brawl's Subspace Emissary by mashing together a bunch of Cartoon Network's properties into one big, sloppy story.
And beyond being sloppy, it isn't very fun. Players are thrown into different worlds and asked to fight against uninteresting enemies in uninteresting locations that only barely draw inspiration from the television shows they're referencing. Platforming through the world of Kids Next Door should be much different than jumping along the rooftops of Townsville, but… it isn't.
Only some of the levels are actually interesting, using unique mechanics to separate them from the other worlds, but the platforming and combat is too weak to fully take advantage of it. Even narration from George Lowe – the voice of Space Ghost – didn't make us want to play through the entire campaign, and we'd listen to him read a phone book.
Though we'd have been more accepting of the lackluster story and less-than-stellar roster if the game was actually any fun to play. Brawlers should at least be dumb fun, but even without holding it up in comparison to Smash Bros. the combat is really weak and unfulfilling. Characters' moves aren't very creative, the controls feel sluggish, and the timing is all over the place. Once we saw all of the characters and got over the initial nostalgia of seeing Johnny Bravo riding a motorcycle we simply didn't want to play anymore, even with friends.
Frustration with controls and poor gameplay meant that our main enjoyment came from rushing to use the game's Assist Characters, who drop like items (think the Assist Trophies or Pokeballs from Smash Bros.), but even that fun was short lived – especially considering a majority of them aren't very good, and some are actually just annoying. Cheese from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, for instance, runs around and screams when he's unlocked, and the noise is so annoying that it actually made us stop playing.
As fans of most of the games featured in the roster and big fans of the genre in general we desperately wanted to like this game, and from the description it sounded like there was a chance. There are unlockables, multiple game modes, and all of the typical bonuses you'd expect from a brawler, but the cool characters and interesting items do little to dig Punch Time XL out of the hole its poor gameplay burrows – not even Space Ghost, and we love that guy.

Our Evo saw its share of track time, and, naturally, that's when we really loved our yellow screamer. "At Grattan Raceway, the Evo was as wonderful and in its element as it had ever been," noted one of our hotfooted staffers. "The brakes are great, and the car easily rotates." (The cheaper and lighter Evo RS, a real stripper, is even more of a blast on a track.) After a summer and fall of high-spirited track days and some rigorous road use, however, the Evo surrendered its brake pads at 20,287 miles, which cost us $706.23. We also had detected a grinding noise in the gearbox when shifting into fifth gear, so the synchro was replaced under warranty.
Our Evo developed a keen appetite for Mobil 1 synthetic oil, requiring a quart or two every 2000 to 3000 miles, especially with heavy track usage. Our expenditures on oil, oil changes, and tire swaps (we wore out the stock Yokohamas, so we replaced them with Toyo Proxes T1-S tires, then ran Yokohama AVS Winter rubber when the snow started to fly) were modest enough that, even with the brake work, our total out-of-pocket expenses for the year would have been fairly reasonable given the Evo's level of performance.
Unfortunately, all such fantasies of a cheap year dissipated at about the ten-month mark, when the clutch started slipping. Replacement of the clutch disc and pressure plate-wear items, dontcha know-didn't fall under warranty. Instead, $1257 fell out of the Automobile Magazine piggy bank, which raised our total annual out-of-pocket expenses, including scheduled maintenance, to a not inconsiderable $4043, or $337 per month, proving once again that performance seldom comes cheap. That said, a Sun Belt owner who doesn't need snow tires and doesn't participate in track days as often as we did probably will spend only a fraction of what we spent to keep his or her Evo on the road.
The stiffly sprung Evo was not exactly our staff's first choice as a freeway cruiser, but it still hit the interstates for many trips, the longest at the hands of motor gopher Stuart Fowle, who sped to Colorado for spring break. "Much like a postman," Fowle declared after 3000 miles, "the Evo always delivers, whether in rain, sleet, snow, or shine. The Recaro seats were incredibly comfortable, the powerful engine and all-wheel drive propelled me through the Rockies with ease, and the xenon headlamps brightly illuminated even the darkest mountain roads."
All was not bliss as he crossed the Plains states, however. "Unfortunately, there's no trunk pass-through, so my snowboard became a back-seat passenger. The rally car-inspired styling is not for everyone, which I learned after receiving a middle-finger salute from two farm boys in a Chevy truck in Nebraska. Police officers also give the car long, hateful looks. And the lack of cruise control killed my ankles and knees."
Contributor Kirk Seaman and his wife, Susan, took the Evo to Chicago for a weekend, and their impressions pretty well summed up our year: "We knew that the Evo had a reputation for a rough ride, and the lack of cruise control seemed daunting for a four-hour trip. Our apprehension, although well founded, melted in the face of complete turbo-induced bliss. Yes, it rode roughly over bad pavement, and yes, the lack of cruise control was a pain, but the Evo won us over with its rawness, its edginess, and its complete focus on capturing the spirit of the World Rally Championship.
"Not once did our backs ache or our legs hurt or our tushes tire in the Recaro seats, and we loved the mechanical sounds of gears, turbo, and exhaust-this car has an immediacy and an intimacy that are very satisfying. All of the driver interfaces-steering, brakes, gearshift, and throttle-show that the Evo is serious about communicating with its driver.
"The Evo reminded us of our first new car, a 1988 Mazda 323 GTX. It had the heart of a racer, loved to rev, and brought a little bit of rallying to the road. We adored that car, and it didn't have cruise control, either."

Nasty Flats Clean Up Hosted by the Jeeping Nomads
Report and photo by Clay Graham / Eastern Washington Adventures
On the morning of Saturday June 29th, 2013 Eastern Washington Adventures members met up at the Ahtanum Winter Recreation Area for the annual EWA 4W613 Trail log out. This year we were invited to help the Jeeping Nomads and the Department of Natural Resources clean up the Nasty Flats area. They had two areas that needed cleaned up to users leaving their mess behind. Be headed out around 9:45 AM and convoyed up to Nasty Flats. There were a lot of cattle blocking the road making it slow going in the last section before we met up with the Jeeping Nomads and DNR. We pulled into the first clean up site where once stood a cabin known to some as the Signature Cabin. The Jeeping Nomads and DNR had the mess cleaned up before we got there.
The Eastern Washington Adventures members joined the Jeeping Nomads and DNR on their convoy over to another clean up site. This was a known hunting camp off the Green Dot System. There was a lot of trash throughout the woods around that camp. The volunteers and DNR staff loaded two trailers and a truck to the limit and there is still more to be picked up. We will have to come back another time. Since there was no more room to haul stuff out, we parted ways from the Jeeping Nomads work party and headed on to go work on 4W613.
Note: The Nasty Flat area is not open to wheel vehicles without DNR permission. The DNR will issue tickets for anyone leaving stuff be hide at camps and/or anyone driving off the Green Dot System without authorization. Please respect the rules.
If you would like to volunteer with us, please visit the Eastern Washington Adventures web site under: Public Lands Volunteer Opportunities
Here are some pictures of the Nasty Flats Clean Up:

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

There is a worrisome question regarding the ability of the U.S. to continue
as a major influence in the world and especially in the Near East. The wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan were and are failures as have been most, if not all,
of the military interventions by the US since WWII. At a time when the
internal politics of this country are so riven with downright hate between
groups who appear to be willing to sacrifice the Constitutional form of
government in an outright attempt to "get" Obama, it is questionable whether
more of our soldiers and treasure should be spent on the next target - Syria
- or the other one, Iran. In my view it is time for this country to mend
itself, before considering further foreign adventures. Careful consideration
should be given to the viability of Israel and the support for and from
NATO, as well as relations with Iraq. There is sufficient "on the plate" so
that attempts to strongly influence the international situation should be
carefully considered in light of the domestic situation here.

Officer Who Fired Fatal Shot Honored as Officer of the Year
WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) - The family of a man killed in a standoff with police last year is upset that the Waukesha Police Department named the woman who fired the fatal shot as its officer of the year.
Officer Shelly Bandow received the award Wednesday from the Waukesha Noon Optimist Club after being nominated by a majority of department supervisors.
Bandow, an eight-year veteran, was chosen for several reasons, including her "courage and professionalism" during the investigation and inquest that followed the June 12 shooting of Timothy Whettam, Police Chief Leslie Sharrock said.
"I'm sensitive to the concerns people might have about this choice," Sharrock said. "But it no less speaks to the ability of the officers who had to deal with the situation."
The award opened old wounds, said Whettam's father, John Whettam. He said the family was not impressed with Bandow's behavior during the inquest.
"It seemed like she was smiling and smirking on the stand," he said.
Whettam's family has said he was distraught over the threat of prison because of recent drunken-driving arrests. Armed with a handgun, Whettam, 36, fired shots inside and outside his mother's duplex before a three-hour standoff began.
During the standoff, dozens of shots were fired by both police and Whettam. An autopsy later revealed he had a 0.20 blood-alcohol level and cocaine in his system when he died.
Sharrock said the whole incident was unfortunate and no officer would want to go through such a tragic event.
Waukesha County Circuit Judge James Kieffer ruled after the inquest that police acted appropriately and lawfully.
The club also honored Waukesha County Sheriff's Deputy David Wellman for his using a defibrillator to shock a 49-year-old town of Waukesha man who had a heart attack.

Lucky, ZooMontana's bighorn sheep, isn't living up to his name.
On Wednesday, the 1-year-old zoo resident broke the humerus in his right, front leg into five piece. On Saturday afternoon, surgeons at Montana Equine Medical and Surgical Center in Three Forks spent four hours repairing the damage to the bone.
What complicated the surgery, said Peter Heidmann, head veterinarian at Montana Equine, was that the head of the humerus — near the sheep's shoulder — was dislocated.
"The muscles contract, which makes it difficult to replace it back into the scapula," Heidmann said by phone.
Dr. Jack Schneider served as the head surgeon for the operation and Dr. Al Flint was surgical assistant, said Heidmann, an internal medicine specialist who acted as anesthesiologist.
The surgeons put two large bone plates into the humerus, the more technical part of the operation. More time consuming was the effort to reposition the dislocated bone, Heidmann said.
Lucky first arrived at the zoo last June. A rancher found the sheep kid in the Gardiner area, and the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks picked up the animal and delivered it to MontanaZoo.
The bighorn sheep lives in a spacious enclosure at the zoo constructed especially for bighorn sheep.
Zoo officials told Heidmann they weren't certain how the injury occurred.
"They don't know how it happened, and he's not talking," the veterinarian said.
Lucky first appeared lame on Wednesday, but because the pieces of the bone stayed perfectly aligned, the fracture remained invisible, Heidmann said. A follow-up X-ray revealed the injury and the zoo contacted Montana Equine.
By Saturday evening Lucky was back in his stall, off anesthesia and gradually recovering his strength. The biggest question that remained, Heidmann said, was how damaged the leg's nerves were at the time of the injury and whether they will fully heal.
Another question is whether a nutritional deficiency contributed to the injury of the wild animal, the vet said.
"There's no evidence of that," Heidmann said. "His bones are in really good shape."

French woman vows to take fight to marry ex-stepson to Europe court
Published on Jun 12, 2014 8:10 PM
METZ (AFP) - A woman who wants to marry her former stepson but cannot do so under French law vowed on Thursday to take her fight right up to the European Court of Human Rights if necessary.
Mr Eric Holder, 45, and Ms Elisabeth Lorentz, 48, appeared in court in the northeastern city of Metz in a bid to overturn a law stipulating that parents and their children - whether natural or not - cannot marry.
The law states that exceptions to the rule can be made by presidential decree for unions like the one envisaged by Holder and Lorentz, but only if they have the blessing of the person through whom they are linked.
In this case, that would be Mr Holder's father and Ms Lorentz's ex-husband, who is now dead.

Drinking, Dancing, Dolly Parton: Photos Of The '70s Country Music Scene
It may come as a surprise that the photographer who shot these country stars — and their fans — is from Massachusetts. But, Henry Horenstein explains, country music "was a rural music, not necessarily a Southern music."
As a young photographer, Horenstein spent a good part of the 1970s and early '80s at bluegrass festivals, Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, New England honky-tonks and elsewhere, documenting what he believed was an "era that was going to go away."
In some sense, it did go away, as all eras do — or, rather, it evolved. Today's mainstream country scene of catchy, highly produced hits by polished performers is a far cry from the scene of 40 years ago, when rock 'n' roll was reshaping the sound that had been passed down four decades prior still, before widespread music recordings.
"Country music is a lot of different things," Horenstein says. "It's not one thing."
The point is: He has extensive documentation of a particular time in country music history. He bore witness to the rising star of Dolly Parton, the heyday of Del McCoury and the twilight of standbys like Lester Flatt. Above all, though, he says, he was "more interested in the last call and the lovers and the pictures like that."
That is, the bread and butter of country music: the people. The fans that made country music possible; the folks who lived lives that the lyrics describe.
Horenstein's photos can be found in his new book, Honky Tonk: Portraits of Country Music, and will be on display in Boston, New York City and Austin, Texas, this fall.

The internet has largely weighed in on Popular Science's sudden decision to shut off its comments section earlier this week. The responses have been, for the most part, positive, as battle-weary writers leap to the defense of a publication looking to preserve the integrity of its work from biased trolls. (Except for Mathew Ingram, who devoted a PaidContent post and an extended Twitter beat-down to the new policy.)
But PopSci is justifying its new policy by arguing that silencing commenters preserves the integrity of science, as evidenced by a study published earlier this year in the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, part of a string of commenting-centric research. In the study, a team of researchers had a sample of just over 1,100 subjects read a blog post on nanotechnology, followed by a set of comments that were alternately laudatory or incendiary. The readers' opinions of the merits of the technology, PopSci reports, were strongly affected by the negative comments, a result PopSci editor Suzanne LaBarre deems dangerous: "If you carry out those results to their logical end—commenters shape public opinion; public opinion shapes public policy; public policy shapes how and whether and what research gets funded—you start to see why we feel compelled to hit the 'off' switch."
But the study doesn't prove or demonstrate that comments have nearly the scope of influence that LaBarre attributes to them. The problem with her extrapolation of the study's logic was summed up by Nature editor Noah Gray:
In a blog post, Marie-Claire Shanahan, the chairwoman of science education at the University of Calgary, agreed, commenting on the "large gap" between how PopSci characterizes the study results versus what the results actually say. Eighty-three percent of the influence of the piece was based on factors that had nothing to do with the comments, explains Shanahan, and the fact that "the civility of the comments had "NO SIGNIFICANT DIRECT EFFECT on readers' perceptions of nanotechnology," a fact left conveniently out of LaBarre's analysis of the study.@fmanjoo @mathewi @jaredbkeller To me, it's ironic that they're using a narrow reading of science to save the public's perception of science
— Noah Gray (@noahWG) September 24, 2013
LaBarre also failed to communicate the study's main finding: That the comments had the most sway over people who were strongly pro or against uses of nanotechnology—not undecided readers. "So among those who already held strong views, the uncivil comments tended to polarize them a bit further," writes Shanahan.
There's also research suggesting that lively commenting can positively add to the debate, says Shanahan, citing her own research surveying comments left on health stories in The Globe and Mail. After Shanahan and a grad student completed the study they found—surprise—that the comments section did exactly what it was supposed to. "Extensive contributions were made by parents, patients and people with medical expertise. Questions were asked and clear thoughtful answers were often given," she wrote. (PopSci doesn't include Shanahan's research in its policy defense, and as any competent science writer understands, two pieces of research does not consensus make.)
We've written often about the dangers of adding false balance to stories by lending uninformed sources equal weight when the research community has, more or less, reached consensus. Though the comments section doesn't bear the same weight as what a writer includes in a piece, there's reason to speculate that the comments section might have more influence on readers when they examine more familiar topics.
In January, Mother Jones published a more thorough post on the paper cited by PopSci, musing that the already fraught emotions of climate-change skeptics might exacerbate the effects of comments:
As the researchers note in the paper, compared with climate change, relatively few people know much about or have strong feelings about nanotechnology. When it comes to climate change, in contrast, "the controversy that you see in comments falls on more fertile ground, and resonates more with an established set of values that the reader may bring to the table," explains study co-author Dietram Scheufele, a professor of science communication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. If commenters have stronger emotions and more of a stake, it stands to reason that the polarizing effect of their insults may be even stronger—although, to be sure, this needs to be studied.
As MoJo points out, the verdict's still out. Over at Slate, technology writer Will Oremus has some acrimonious words for PopSci's argument that removing comments is necessary to preserve the purity of reasoned science, a move he points out is "antithetical to the spirit of free inquiry that has always driven scientific discovery."

By NEAL WAGNER / Managing Editor; ALABASTER REPORTER
ALABASTER – The Thompson High School varsity football team will roll out the red carpet – or at least red end zones – as it hosts its first home game of the year against Hoover on Sept. 19.
Crews recently finished major upgrades at Larry Simmons Stadium off Thompson Road, and the stadium has already seen some football action over the past few weeks.
"We've had a middle school, junior varsity and ninth-grade game there already, and everything went great," Alabaster School Superintendent Dr. Wayne Vickers said on Sept. 11. "It was exciting to see the students out on that field the other day. There's a lot of excitement, and there's more to come."
The Alabaster School Board voted unanimously during a May meeting to accept an about $1.4 million bid from the Bessemer-based Coston Contractors to make significant upgrades to the stadium.
The project added a synthetic turf field in place of the natural grass field previously at the stadium. The new field, which includes both soccer and football lines, features bright red end zones reading "Thompson" and "Warriors" and a red arrowhead logo at the center of the field.
The project also removed of the current press box on the visitors' side and constructed a new five-room press box above the home stands, which is the side closest to Thompson Road.
Construction crews installed the press box on Aug. 5, and removed the old press box earlier in the summer.
Crews repainted the field house, added bricks around the steel columns on the outside of the field house and added a dedicated sports medicine training room. A new scoreboard, 25-second clock and goal posts also were installed on the football field.
Stadium upgrades also included seal coating and restriping the asphalt track, reconstructing track accessories such as the long jump pad and improving the stadium's drainage. The drainage improvements helped eliminate "Lake Thompson" in Thompson Intermediate School's back parking lot, which Vickers said frequently flooded during heavy rainfalls.
The Thompson-Hoover varsity football game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19.

The crisp scent of Robin Blue and native cedars and Carolina Sapphire evergreens wafts through the grounds of Red Barn U-Cut Christmas Tree Farm & Christmas Store. Visitors to the farm peruse the trees in search of the perfect specimen, and then take part in a time-honored holiday tradition of chopping it down. Customers can also head indoors to a 500-square-foot holiday store stocked with artificial trees, gift-wrapping supplies, ornaments, and lights.
The furniture arrangers at Family Furniture Leather Gallery stock all 12,000 square feet of their showroom with more than 100 different colors and styles of furniture spanning from contemporary leather sofas to traditional end tables. Casual end tables ($129+) accompany leather sofas ($999+) and leather chairs and ottomans ($599+), while lamps reveal walking obstacles such as a lurking roller skate or a discarded turkey sandwich ($69+). In-stock items such as leather reclining chairs ($599+) and leather sleeper sofas ($1,399+), both crafted with top-quality leather, are delivered within 72 business hours after purchasing. For the same price, customers are also able to design their own furniture items if in-stock items don't cradle or envelope their bodies in the right fashion.
Mattress1One's immense inventory brims with top-quality slumbering surfaces from renowned brands such as Tempur-Pedic, Serta, Sealy, and Stearns & Foster. At multiple locations throughout Florida, knowledgeable staff members roam showrooms that brim with an array of mattresses forged from such materials as memory foam, high-tech innersprings, silk, and cashmere. They also curate an online Mattress 101 guide, which includes handy tips on selecting the ideal mattress size, keeping the mattress in tiptop shape, and mounting a rock-solid legal defense in case you accidentally rip the tags off.
Wood You, a member of the Unfinished Furniture Association, and its staff of timber traders have been selling real wood furniture since 1986. All of the customizable natural-wood furniture displayed in the 8,000-square-foot showroom can be stained, painted, or covered in Grey Poupon to suit any space. Occasional tables ($44–$179) add arboreal flair to living rooms, and dining chairs ($52–$99) support eating endeavors. Personalize your workstation with computer modular groupings or shield your TV from an aggressive animated DVD collection with an entertainment center ($199–$699). Information about lumber, stains, and finishing techniques are available for perusal on Wood You's website.
The staff of Dr. Snooze has transformed the process of selecting the perfect mattress into a science. A pressure-imaging pad is placed between a customer and their potential mattress, creating a map of pressure points on a computer screen and suggesting whether or not the mattress would be a comfortable fit. Patrons can use this technology to narrow down their options in a storeroom cushioned with models by Simmons, Laura Ashley, and King Koil. The inventory includes all sizes—including extra-large lengths for hibernating ogres—and plush infrastructures boast everything from innerspring to memory foam. A selection of bedding and furniture for adults and kids completes bedroom makeovers.
The entirely local staff members are committed to keeping their neighbors happy, so they will match any competitor's lower price within 30 days of purchase. Once buyers choose a mattress, white-glove delivery service ensures the pristine condition of items and includes haul away of old mattresses or an unwelcome Sandman if needed.

Betta flaring causing ragged tail... what to do?
I thought my betta had fin rot as his tail became ragged soon after I bought him so I moved him to a hospital tank and his tail started getting better, so I put him back in my main tank but now I think it is getting worse again.
In the hospital tank I have no light and he never once flared, however when the tank light is on in my main tank he catches sight of his reflection a lot and flares, so it seems to me his damaged tail is being caused by him regularly flaring. I have tried to disguise his reflection but I still have to keep my room light on at night or he will flare at the front of the glass.
What can I do about this? I dont want to take him back to the shop as I love his and his personality, but I cant treat his tail as I dont have room to set up the hospital tank permanently.
29 Gallon: Super Dragon Betta, Neon Tetras, Honey Gourami, Rummy Nose Tetra, Checker barbs, Bolivian Ram, Otocinclus, African Filter Shrimp,
6.4 Gallon: Halfmoon Betta, Otocinclus, Red Crystal Shrimp
0He might also be flaring at the other fish. Some bettas are simply too aggressive for community tanks. He may settle down after awhile, though.
Tail fins usually would not generally get ragged from flaring, though, so I would suspect another cause: tail biting, fin nipping by the other fish, or water quality."The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Betta albimarginata, corydoras, checker barbs, pork chop rasbora
"Nano Fish Tank" 20g long - Celestial Pearl Danios, microrasboras, Corydoras habrosus
"Mbuna Tank" 75g - Ps. saulosi, I. sprengerae, M. pulpican, M. joanjohnsonae
"Time Out Tank" 29g - dominant male Cynotilapia sp. "hara"

15 g FW planted: crown tail betta, neons, snails
90 g FW semi planted: EBJD, congos, rainbows, ABNP, peppered cories, apple snails

0My guess would be lighting. Betta do not really care for bright lights, and often they can make a mirror effect against the walls of the glass on the inside, making them think they are constantly in the presence of another male Betta.
Is the tank heavily planted? If not, you could try placing in more plants, either real, or plastic to break up the views of the glass.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.

I've linked below to a blog article from Weston Nurseries. The map that accompanies the article is very interesting. It shows SE Mass and a good portion of CT in moderate drought, and most of the rest of New England in "unusually dry" conditions. They make recommendations for planting that are unusual for this time of year. As trees and shrubs are starting to be planted now, it is timely advice.

Follow-Up Postings:
It really is unusually dry for this time of year here. I am working in my veggie garden doing prep, and usually it's unworkable now, either under snow, still frozen, or totally sodden. |
- Posted by gardenweed_z6a 6a CT (My Page) on Sun, Apr 1, 12 at 13:30
This time last year I had to buy a pump and pump the water out of my cellar due to the heavy snow over winter followed by drenching rains in spring. The pump worked well but I had to stand there while it pumped which became tedius as the days and weeks passed. I tacked a shower curtain to the side of my garage and draped it over my sprouted winter sown containers to keep the rain off them. Fast forward to 2012 and I'm busy again, this time bottom watering my sprouted winter sown containers that are drying out from the lack of snow and rain. Steve - thanks for posting the link to that blog even if it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. The map was helpful too. |
Not too dry here, but I'm not touching any of the mulch or doing any gardening until later in the season. Spring comes late here anyway, and I keep a thick layer of leaves/compost/pine needles all over to retain the winter's moisture. There have been Red Flag Warnings for fire danger posted several times, when the wind has been very high combined with very low humidity. Forest fires we don't need. Claire |
Yeah the map is interesting, although the blog doesn't tell me anything I don't know either. It is very unusual for precipitation to be this low this time of year. Has me quite worried, but I'm a worry wart, so hopefully it won't be that bad. I already have 250 feet of hose hooked up around the house and have been watering recent transplants, as well as anything that was planted or transplanted in the latter half of last year. |

Frazier kicks off WATCH D.O.G.S.® programWednesday, November 21st, 2012 Issue 47, Volume 16.
"The program is the father involvement initiative of the National Center For Fathering," a source stated. "It was inspired by one fathers desire to increase male involvement in his childrens school and with the help of the schools teachers and administration. WATCH D.O.G.S.® was created in 1998 at George Elementary in Springdale, Ark. Since then, the program has spread to thousands of schools in over 42 states and other countries abroad." "Each school year thousands of men volunteer to work at least one day in their childs school through the WATCH D.O.G.S.® program. These men work along side the educators to help as crossing guards, car/bus rider facilitators, hallway monitors, library assistants, lunchroom helpers, classroom and homework tutors and much more." "Studies by the U.S. Department of Education have demonstrated that a positive adult male role model will have a uniquely positive impact on the development and educational success of a child." For more information on the program, visit www.fathers.com/watchdogs or, to get involved, call Frazier elementary school at (760) 723-6770. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Four hundred and eighty years after the people of Israel left Egypt, during the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the second month, the month of Ziv, Solomon began work on the Temple. | 1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the temple of the LORD. |
2 Inside it was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high. | 2 The temple that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high. |
3 The entrance room was 15 feet deep and 30 feet wide, as wide as the sanctuary itself. | 3 The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits, and projected ten cubits from the front of the temple. |
4 The walls of the Temple had openings in them, narrower on the outside than on the inside. | 4 He made narrow clerestory windows in the temple. |
5 Against the outside walls, on the sides and the back of the Temple, a three-storied annex was built, each story 7 1/2 feet high. | 5 Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms. |
6 Each room in the lowest story was 7 1/2 feet wide, in the middle story 9 feet wide, and in the top story 10 1/2 feet wide. The Temple wall on each floor was thinner than on the floor below, so that the rooms could rest on the wall without having their beams built into it. | 6 The lowest floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits and the third floor seven. He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls. |
7 The stones with which the Temple was built had been prepared at the quarry, so that there was no noise made by hammers, axes, or any other iron tools as the Temple was being built. | 7 In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built. |
8 The entrance to the lowest story of the annex was on the south side of the Temple, with stairs leading up to the second and third stories. | 8 The entrance to the lowest floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third. |
9 So King Solomon finished building the Temple. He put in a ceiling made of beams and boards of cedar. | 9 So he built the temple and completed it, roofing it with beams and cedar planks. |
10 The three-storied annex, each story 7 1/2 feet high, was built against the outside walls of the Temple, and was joined to them by cedar beams. | 10 And he built the side rooms all along the temple. The height of each was five cubits, and they were attached to the temple by beams of cedar. |
11 The Lord said to Solomon, | 11 The word of the LORD came to Solomon: |
12 "If you obey all my laws and commands, I will do for you what I promised your father David. | 12 "As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, carry out my regulations and keep all my commands and obey them, I will fulfill through you the promise I gave to David your father. |
13 I will live among my people Israel in this Temple that you are building, and I will never abandon them." | 13 And I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon my people Israel." |
14 So Solomon finished building the Temple. | 14 So Solomon built the temple and completed it. |
15 The inside walls were covered with cedar panels from the floor to the ceiling, and the floor was made of pine. | 15 He lined its interior walls with cedar boards, paneling them from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and covered the floor of the temple with planks of pine. |
16 An inner room, called the Most Holy Place, was built in the rear of the Temple. It was 30 feet long and was partitioned off by cedar boards reaching from the floor to the ceiling. | 16 He partitioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. |
17 The room in front of the Most Holy Place was 60 feet long. | 17 The main hall in front of this room was forty cubits long. |
18 The cedar panels were decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers; the whole interior was covered with cedar, so that the stones of the walls could not be seen. | 18 The inside of the temple was cedar, carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; no stone was to be seen. |
19 In the rear of the Temple an inner room was built, where the Lord's Covenant Box was to be placed. | 19 He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there. |
20 This inner room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high, all covered with pure gold. The altar was covered with cedar panels. | 20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar. |
21 The inside of the Temple was covered with gold, and gold chains were placed across the entrance of the inner room, which was also covered with gold. | 21 Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold. |
22 The whole interior of the Temple was covered with gold, as well as the altar in the Most Holy Place. | 22 So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary. |
23 Two winged creatures were made of olive wood and placed in the Most Holy Place, each one 15 feet tall. | 23 In the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high. |
24 Both were of the same size and shape. Each had two wings, each wing 7 1/2 feet long, so that the distance from one wing tip to the other was 15 feet. | 24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits--ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip. |
27 They were placed side by side in the Most Holy Place, so that two of their outstretched wings touched each other in the middle of the room, and the other two wings touched the walls. | 27 The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape. |
28 The two winged creatures were covered with gold. | 28 The height of each cherub was ten cubits. |
29 The walls of the main room and of the inner room were all decorated with carved figures of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers. | 29 He placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. |
30 Even the floor was covered with gold. | 30 He overlaid the cherubim with gold. |
31 A double door made of olive wood was set in place at the entrance of the Most Holy Place; the top of the doorway was a pointed arch. | 31 On the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers. |
32 The doors were decorated with carved figures of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers. The doors, the winged creatures, and the palm trees were covered with gold. | 32 He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold. |
33 For the entrance to the main room a rectangular doorframe of olive wood was made. | 33 For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood with five-sided jambs. |
34 There were two folding doors made of pine | 34 And on the two olive wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with beaten gold. |
35 and decorated with carved figures of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers, which were evenly covered with gold. | 35 In the same way he made four-sided jambs of olive wood for the entrance to the main hall. |
36 An inner court was built in front of the Temple, enclosed with walls which had one layer of cedar beams for every three layers of stone. | 36 He also made two pine doors, each having two leaves that turned in sockets. |
37 The foundation of the Temple was laid in the second month, the month of Ziv, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign. | 37 He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings. |
38 In the eighth month, the month of Bul, in the eleventh year of Solomon's reign, the Temple was completely finished exactly as it had been planned. It had taken Solomon seven years to build it. | 38 And he built the inner courtyard of three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams. |
37 | 37 The foundation of the temple of the LORD was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. |
38 | 38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it. |

Why Does Television Want Me to Love Yoghurt?
This is what I've noticed about advertising (it's not a recent development, but I've been having such a dedicated, nightly liaison with Netflix that I've avoided television adverts for quite some time); only women like yoghurt. Particularly, women like eating yoghurt alone, in profile with their eyes shut.
